Fall denim season is creeping up, and Emma Roberts just gave us a preview of where things are headed. Out to dinner with her husband, Cody John, she kept things simple: straight-leg jeans, a baby blue tee, nothing overdone. It's the kind of outfit that looks like no effort at all went into it, which is exactly why it works.
It also happens to look a lot like something Jennifer Aniston has been doing for years — she was working this same straight-leg silhouette back when she was playing Rachel Green, and she's never really stopped. There's something reassuring about a style that two actresses from very different eras keep landing on independently.
So we went looking for the jeans themselves, and found four options at Quince that get at different versions of the look — some closer to Roberts' relaxed fit, some closer to Aniston's slightly tighter take — all starting at $50.
Get Roberts' Exact Vibe: Bella Stretch Relaxed Straight Jeans
These are about as close as you'll get to Roberts' actual pair — snug through the hip and thigh, then relaxed through the leg. The hem hits right at the top of the foot, which is doing a lot of the elongating work here. One shopper who's five-foot-two said the fit made her feel noticeably taller, and liked the material enough to buy them in two washes.

The Everyday Comfort Pick: Luna Stretch Relaxed Straight Jeans
If the other options feel like they're leaning too far one way or the other, this is the middle ground — not baggy, not tight. One five-foot-two shopper owns them in two colors, didn't need to hem either pair, and said she wears them on repeat. Pair with a sweater and flats and you've got a whole fall outfit sorted.
